Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 247 / Thursday, December 26, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 104889 

agricultural workers at risk of 

occupational exposure in Argentina. 

As set forth under 42 CFR 73.3(e)(2), 

if an excluded attenuated strain is 

subjected to any manipulation that 

restores or enhances its virulence, the 

resulting select agent will be subject to 

the requirements of the regulations. 

CDC’s Intragovernmental Select Agents 

and Toxins Technical Advisory 

Committee (ISATTAC), which 

comprises federal government subjectmatter experts from HHS, the U.S. 

Department Agriculture, the Department 

of Homeland Security, the 

Environmental Protection Agency, and 

the Department of Defense, reviewed the 

data published in the study, 

‘‘Restoration of virulence in the 

attenuated Candid No.1 vaccine virus 

requires reversion at both positions 168 

and 427 in the envelope glycoprotein 

GPC’’ (published in the Journal of 

Virology [https://doi.org/10.1128/ 

jvi.00112-24] on March 20, 2024). The 

ISATTAC concluded that the modified 

strains (Candid No.1 containing GP1 

168T and/or GP2 427F) showed an 

increased virulence compared to the 

parental excluded Candid No.1 strain 

when injected into guinea pigs and 

huTfR1 mice. CDC concurred with the 

ISATTAC’s assessment and, on May 3, 

2024, CDC determined that given the 

restoration of virulence, Junı ́n virus 

vaccine strain Candid No.1 containing 

GP1 168T and/or GP2 427F is a select 

agent and is subject to the select agent 

and toxin regulations in accordance 

with 42 CFR 73.3(e)(2).

ACTION: Final rule; technical corrections. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is making technical 

corrections to regulations that published 

in the Federal Register on May 1, 2024 

(final rule). 

DATES: Effective on December 26, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BLM 

published FR Doc. 2024–08099, 

beginning on page 35634 in the Federal 

Register of May 1, 2024. 

Subsequently, BLM published a 

correction to the final rule on June 28, 

2024 (89 FR 53869), correcting its 

instructions for 43 CFRs 2801.5 to 

clarify the addition of the term 

‘‘Megawatt hour (MWh) rate’’ instead of 

revising the term ‘‘Megawatt hour 

(MWh) rate.’’ However, the instructions 

were not updated to remove the 

conflicting term ‘‘Megawatt rate,’’ which 

is no longer necessary with the changes 

in the final rule. This correcting 

amendment removes the term 

‘‘Megawatt rate’’ from § 2801.5(b). 

Section 2803.10 of the final rule did 

not include the change to the title 

adding the words ‘‘or lease’’ as intended 

with the publication of the final rule. 

This correcting amendment revises the 

section title to read as, ‘‘Who may hold 

a grant or lease?’’ 

Section 2804.12 in the final rule did 

not include the title to paragraph (j) 

intended for reader clarity. This 

correcting amendment revises paragraph 

(j) adding the intended title, ‘‘Complete 

applications:’’ to the paragraph. 

In the final rule, § 2806.51(a) was not 

updated consistent with the changes of 

the final rule and incorrectly left 

regulatory text that directed readers to 

sections of the rule that are specific to 

the 2016 rule and are now incorrect and 

inaccurate and no longer able to be 

implemented. This correcting 

amendment revises paragraph (a) to 

retain the first sentence of paragraph (a) 

with slight revisions using the 

terminology of the final rule. The 

second and third sentences of paragraph 

(a) direct readers to the standard rate 

adjustment method and the scheduled 

rate adjustment method which are no 

longer available and were removed with 

the final rule. 

In the final rule, instruction 28 

specified § 2806.52(a) through (c) were 

being revised without correctly 

identifying the removal of § 2806.52(d). 

Section 2806.52(d) includes regulatory 

citations specific to the 2016 final rule 

that are now incorrect and inaccurate 

and no longer able to be implemented. 

This correcting amendment removes 

§ 2806.52(d). 

BLM also corrects § 2809.15(d)(2) by 

removing the colon at the end of the 

paragraph and adding a semicolon in its 

place. 

Sections 2807.17 and 2807.20 of the 

final rule did not include the intended 

addition ‘‘or lease’’ in the titles. These 

section titles are revised to include the 

missing text to now read as, ‘‘§ 2807.17 

Under what conditions may BLM 

suspend or terminate my grant or 

lease?’’ and ‘‘§ 2807.20 When must I 

amend my application, seek an 

amendment of my grant or lease, or 

obtain a new grant or lease?’’ 

Sections 2809.13 and 2809.17 of the 

final rule did not include the intended 

section title revisions to change ‘‘offers’’ 

to read as ‘‘processes,’’ consistent with 

the changes in the regulatory text. These 

correcting amendments change the titles 

to read as ‘‘§ 2809.13 How will the BLM 

conduct competitive processes?’’ and 

‘‘§ 2809.17 Will the BLM ever reject bids 

or re-conduct a competitive process?’’ 

In the final rule, the title to § 2809.18 

was intended to include the addition to 

the section title ‘‘solar and wind energy 

development,’’ consistent with the new 

definition of ‘‘solar and wind energy 

development’’ added to the final rule. 

The section now reads as, ‘‘What terms 

and conditions apply to a solar and 

wind energy development lease?’’ 

Additionally, the regulatory reference in 

paragraph (a) should direct readers to 

§ 2805.11(c), not 2805.11(b), for the term 

of a solar and wind energy development 

lease. Paragraph (a) is revised, 

correcting the regulatory reference to 

read as § 2805.11(c).
